Google is advertising 15 jobs based in Johannesburg, South Africa, including cloud computing, legal, recruiting, and marketing positions.
The company has more than 155,000 employees worldwide, and following declined hiring activity in 2020, Google appears to have increased recruiting in South Africa.
The tech giant is advertising 50% more jobs in the country today than in March 2022.
Two of the advertised positions are related to Google’s Cloud operations in South Africa, for which it recently chose Africa Data Centres as its first location for Google Cloud Interconnect in the country.
This follows other international cloud providers, like Amazon, launching their regional cloud operations.
Google set up a South African base in Bryanston, Johannesburg, in 2007, and it was managed by Stafford Masie — the company’s first South African country manager.
Luke McKend served as Google country director for South Africa from October 2010 to October 2018. McKend left Google to join Microsoft’s LinkedIn.
Having initially only supported a small team in shared office space, Google’s South African offices expanded in 2015 to a new location, also in Bryanston.
The move provided more space for a larger team and included new perks for employees, including a canteen, games room, and chill zone.
It also meant that the South African team now had its own dedicated office space.
Google appointed Alistair Mokoena as its new South African country manager in January 2020.
The local positions Google is advertising include a business development manager for Android platform partnerships, a customer engineer for Google Cloud, a Product Marketing Manager for consumer applications, and an artist relationship manager for YouTube Music.
